Address of Possible Project Location: Alethia Drive & Bolton Road

Municipality where it would be located: Mansfield

Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (CEPA) Determination: On August 8, 2023, the University of Connecticut (UConn) published a Notice of Scoping to solicit public comments for this action in the Environmental Monitor. A public scoping meeting was held on August 30, 2023, and comments were received during the meeting and the public comment period that concluded on September 8, 2023. On March 5, 2024, UConn published a Notice of Time Extension for Post-Scoping.

After consideration of the comments received, UConn has determined the project does not require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Evaluation (EIE) under the CEPA.  UConn's conclusion is documented in a Memo of Findings and Determination and an Environmental Review Checklist which includes responses to comments received.
